Yes, there is no hold activity recorded on 3rd stick (D-pad in ANALOG gamepad mode) within gmenu2x code, you could just reuse left/right analog sticks (or L2/R2) for faster movement and d-pad for precise pick. If still that annoys you, you might want consider switching to DIGITAL mode (switch off ANALOG on gamepad), which will fix the issue for now, by reading axis moves from d-pad instead.

PS: It also works with "Joymap" app, which does better job than SDL_Joystick... side of things.
